docker registry v2.1 delete images error 405 method not allowed

[maxwell92]

I push a image test-busybox. And I found that using DELETE /v2/NAME/manifests/DIGEST can delete the image on https://docs.docker.com/registry/spec/api/#deleting-a-layer . I tried but I failed. I got a response like this: HTTP 405 Method Not Allowed. What's the problem?

Did you configure delete to be enabled?

@RichardScothern Yes. I write the command like this:
docker run -d -p 5000:5000 --restart=always --name registry
-v pwd/certs:/certs
-e REGISTRY_HTTP_TLS_CERTIFICATE=/certs/domain.crt
-e REGISTRY_HTTP_TLS_KEY=/certs/domain.key
-v /images/:/var/lib/registry
-e REGISTRY_STORAGE_DELETE_ENABLED=true
registry:2.1
is there something wrong?

[RichardScothern]

The config looks correct. Please post the registry logs and your delete command.

It's most likely this was fixed in v2.2 by #888

The REGISTRY_STORAGE_DELETE struct would not exist at time of handling REGISTRY_STORAGE_DELETE_ENABLED so deletes would not be enabled.

Closing for bookkeeping, feel free to comment/reopen if you're still encountering this issue.
